Beard Butter vs Beard Balm

When it comes to beard care products, there is an abundance of choices on the market. Sometimes it can be a little confusing picking the correct product that will give you the desired results your looking for. Hopefully this blog will help when it comes to choosing either a Beard Balm or Beard Butter.
To start off, Beard Butter and Beard Balm are both designed to help you style and shape your beard. However, there are a few differences we thought we'd share.
 

WHAT IS BEARD BALM?

Beard balm is a product with a mixture of several ingredients, most of which include things such as beeswax, Shea butter, essential oils, and natural carrier oils. Its purpose is to help keep your beard conditioned, healthy and to act as a styling agent to provide control and tame flyaway hairs. The Beeswax in beard balm gives your beard that extra hold and also helps to lock in moisture. Beard balm will help make sure that your beard simply looks tamed, great and well groomed.

WHAT IS BEARD BUTTER?

Beard butter is generally made up of all natural oils and butters such as Shea and mango butter to serve as a deep conditioner to soften and moisturize both your beard and the skin beneath. Natural butters such as, Shea butter absorb into the beard hairs giving your beard a fuller appearance. Beard butters generally provide a light hold to help tame flyaway hairs and to help shape your beard. Since beard butters usually lack beeswax or contain very little, beard butter is easy to spread and has a soft butter like consistency. This soft consistency will ensure full coverage to your hair follicles, skin and facial hair which helps to hydrate, deep condition and soften your hair and the skin beneath. Beard butter is the perfect option if you're looking to manage beard itch or have dry skin or dandruff.

CONCLUSION

Beard balm and beard butter are both great products. It comes down to what look and results you're going for . If you want more control and hold to tame flyway hairs, beard balm may be the choice for you. If you are looking for deep conditioning to soften and promote better healthy beard growth, but still want a light hold to style your beard, beard butter may be the the right choice. We recommend adding both to your beard care routine, since they each have different uses and benefits. Beard butter is excellent to use at night before bed to deeply hydrate your facial hair and skin. Beard balm is great to use during the day to tame, style and to provide hold.

Mystery Beard Oil

Really loved the scent (Timber) of the mystery beard oil I received as a free gift. As with all of Skully’s products, a very high quality I’ve come to expect.

I am new to Skully’s!

This was my first order with Skully’s, the scents were phenomenal and the products were of very high quality! It looked like the package they arrived in had torn open during transit, and some items were missing, but Chris took care of everything and replaced them promptly. Much appreciated! Loved the Autumn Reserve so much I went ahead and got the Fall kits (Zombie and Pumpkin) and look forward to giving those try. Wholeheartedly recommend Skully’s!

Dead man

Great product.

One of Skully’s finest.

Having purchased so many Skully’s scents and merchandise over the years I knew the moment Autumn Reserve was announced this one would be special. What many might claim was a blind purchase, rather than buying one item to test, I went full in. And oh how right I was.

I made this a solid purchase for two reasons.

First, this is a timeless classic scent profile and Skully’s once again hit a solid, bases loaded, home-run. As a stand alone scent it is positively refreshing and perfect. The first day it arrived I did not use it sparingly. The apple scent is front and center and the base scents of whiskey and oak add tremendous depth. Classic fall weather scent profile that honestly is versatile for all seasons.

Second, I often mix my Skully’s scents together. Autumn Reserves scent profile goes well with so many others. I mixed a few drops of Kentucky Mash with Autumn Harvest oil and butter. Perfect.

In beard and on skin feel is outstanding. Make sure to mix enough to cover your face and arms as well.

Favorite Skully’s scents. In no particular order.

Kentucky Mash, Bonehead, Timber, Winter Spice, Numbskull, and now adding Autumn Harvest. Aside from Winter Spice and Numbskull (both absolute perfection), the other four are perfect as a stand alone scents but also mix together nicely.

Black Brew and Irish Mint are also fantastic stand alone scents but truly shine when mixed together. Black Brew also mixes well together with Kentucky Mash, Bonehead, and Timber.

I also really like all of the scents that are citrus centered. One of the best is Buck Shot.

Beard wash, pale rider

After wash beard feeling soft/hydrated without a conditioner. Recommend this product.

Smell Gooooood….

and my beard is sawft!

Great Beard/Body Bar

Lathers very well and smells nice. Conditions and cleans nicely. I use Skullys conditioner after.

Very Good

Skullys makes a very good beard conditioner. Great price and free shipping.

Smells great!

Very nice blend of cinnamon and clove with this one. Feels grainy at first, but just work it a little between your palms and you get this wave of fragrance that makes me want a good spiced chai in the morning.

Great product

Very happy with these products.

Easily accessible

Shark bait cologne in a tin is very convenient. It has a really great smell like coconut and summer. Definitely beach vibes. Its very easy to apply. Its not going to linger long like fragrence from a spray. But its nice in a pinch.

The scent is subtle yet refreshing, not overpowering, which I really appreciate. It keeps my beard well-groomed and gives it a nice, natural shine without making it greasy. i appriciate myself that i choose Marooned oil which has malodious france and hydrate my beard all day long.

Crisp with an airy vibe

Smells fantastic! Definitely my top summer night or late summer oil now. Wish I picked it up sooner. Light but with a nice medium light viscosity when applying it into my skin. Very well made. A+

Autumn Reserve (Fall Limited Edition) Beard Oil 1 oz. -Available Until 11/15

Cleans better than expected

It doesn't take much to lather just enough to get everything clean. Any oil in the beard immediately dissipates. The scent is about half the fragrance of the beard oil, with the conditioner being the other half of it.
